OF THE DISASTERS CAUSED BY
THE EARTHQUAKES.
The Panic Renewed at Genoa by
False Predictions OF An
other Shock.

years ana hsr lather were eXtflcaleu
from the debris, when the latter ex-
pired upon the spot. The survivors
at Diano Mariana cay that majority
of the victims were killed by the Sec
ond sh.ck, the people having re-
|. entered their h0us to procure cloth
ing. The sam of $4,000 has been
found in the ruins there. Bodies
y wrapped in shrouds lie in the middle
lof tie streets. At Bussana only
church stsep'e remains standing. The
soldiers there are still searching the
ruins. They have rescued twenty
seven people, ell OF whom are more or
less injured. The panic was renewed
at Genoa today on false report that
Father Densa had predicted another
shock. Both there and at Savons the
people refuse TO return to their houses
They sleep in carriages and impro-
vise1 PLACES of shelter.
Signor Genla, Minister OF Public
Works, has vi-ited B3j ardo, and at
u tended the funeral Of 23O victims of
es the church collapse, who were buried
in common trench in the cemetery.
He slso made arrangements for tenn
porary hospital for thu injured. Slight
4 oscillations were felt today at Albeuga
r and Porto Msnritzzo. Relief Commit.
tees are beng organized throughout
the county, but ii i5 impossible to
supply the numerous wants. A bill
will be- introduced in Parliament for a
10 credit OF ST 600 600 for relief purposes.

by San Reno is deserted. There were
kt 30S persons killed and $50 injured in
4 that town. The troops have been
|or compelled to keep back at the point of
be the bsyonet crowds OF despairng men
q. and women who were impeding the
"a work of excavation in their Efforts to
be find missing relatives. The bodies Of
r. the victims of the disaster are terribly
ditfgured. The sufferiugs of the sur
led vivors are great, the supply of provis
|n- ions and drugs and the ambulance sp-
BIZ psratus being painfully inadequate.
RI The work Of the rescusrs is attended
Inna with considerable danger. In some
b cases they have been obliged TO flee
q from totering walls, although they
~ could hear the groans Of victims buried
az beneath the debris. All the members
re of the family of the Mayor of Bsjardo
tS were killed. OF another family, con-
of sistiDg of twenty-five persons, named
10 Maestri, only single member, half
Eo1r demented, ia left. Half clothed peo-
10 pie are wandering on the sea shore,
la exposed to the inGement weather.
r. At Diano-M sriano man and a
b; child were taken out alive, after being
r. entombed three days. Groans can
still be heard in the ruins, especially
in the Via Gsribaldi. The lost oil was
valued at $500,0O0 The losses on
+ o,her property are heavy. Oneglia is
threatened with storm of ran or
snow, which will cause fearful distress,
although clothing and supplies Of all
X. kinds are beginning TO arrive in ample
r. quantities from Genoa. Tents for
refugees are being erected, and volun-
teers for search parties are plentiful.
oy The activity Of the Genoese authori-
= ties is beyond praise. A boy was en-
Ioi tombed three days, and was rescued
9aSs unhurt in bed. Nobody enters a
|gs house who is able to obtain shelter
Eh- elsewhere. Only new and well built
nv houses are habitable.
lis, COL. DASH INTERVIEWED.
Col. T. Dash, friend of Mr.. John
bed Mckay, who has just arrived from
r. Nice, was interviewed by Herald cor
lon respondent, and eaid: at was few
o. minutes to 6 o'clock when felt the
e|aS first shock. l was in bed at the time
Ell in room on the third floor of the Ho-
tel de France. l heard men and
Gsss; women screaming and groaning all
around me. The screams seemed to
be half suppressed, as if those who
|. gave utterance to them could not get
r. the sound out properly. Then l
10. heard people rushing out of their
Er,it rooms onto the landings. They were
pa all in their night gowns. OF course l
did not get up for we Californisns are
Hr somewhat used to earthquakes. l
q turned around on nv side and waited
p for, as it seemed to me, the best part
OF a minute, till the house righted
- itself. The vibration ceased, but the
ne commotion was so great that it literally
pa made me sick.
9thh "A PRETTY HEAVY SHOCK,
